a 1,000 gallon oil/water separator, a 1,000 gallon septic tank, a distribution box and 415 linear
feet of nitrification lines to serve Anthony's Cargo Express with no discharge of wastes to the
surface waters, pursuant to the application received July 20, 1989 and in conformity with the
project plan, specifications, and other supporting data subsequently filed and approved by the
Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources and considered a part of this permit.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until September 30, 1994 and shall
be subject to the following specified conditions and limitations:
I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
1. Upon completion of construction and prior to operation of this permitted facility, a
certification must be received from a professional engineer certifying that the
permitted facility has been installed in accordance with this permit, the approved
plans and specifications. Mail the certification to the Permits and Engineering Unit,
P.O. Box 27687, Raleigh, NC 27611-7687.
2. The Mooresville Regional Office, phone no. [phone], shall be notified at
least forty-eight (48) hours in advance of backfilling of the installed facilities so that
an in-place inspection can be made. Such notification to the regional supervisor shall
be made during the normal office hours from 8:00 a.n-i. until 5:00 p.m. on Monday
through Friday, excluding State Holidays.
3. In the event that the facilities fail to perforin satisfactorily, including the creation of
nuisance conditions, the Permittee shall take immediate corrective action, including
those as may be required by this Division, such as construction of additional or
replacement wastewater treatment or disposal facilities.

4. The issuance of this permit shall not relieve the Permittee of the responsibility for
damages to surface or groundwaters resulting from the operation of this facility.
S. This permit shall become voidable if the soils fail to adequately absorb the wastes
and may be rescinded unless the facilities are installed, maintained, and operated in a
manner which will protect the assigned water quality standards of the surface waters
and ground waters.
6. Adequate measures shall be taken to divert stormwater from the disposal area and
prevent wastewater runoff from the subsurface disposal field.
7. The sludge generated from these treatment facilities must be disposed of in
accordance with General Statute 143-215.1 and in a manner approved by the North
Carolina Division of Environmental Management.
8. A usable reserve area shall be maintained for wastewater disposal. The reserve area
shall have the capability of accommodating the average daily flow of the facility
being served without exceeding the loading rates of the reserve area while meeting all
required buffer requirements.
3. Diversion or bypassing of the untreated wastewater from the treatment facilities is
prohibited.
10. The following buffers shall be maintained:
a) 100 feet between disposal area and any public or private water supply including
wells
b) 100 feet between disposal area and "SA and SB" classified surface waters
c) 50 feet between disposal area and any stream, lake, river or natural drainageway
d) 50 feet between disposal area and property lines
e) 10 feet between disposal area and surface water interceptor drains or
diversions (upslope)
f) 25 feet between disposal area and surface water interceptor drains or diversions
(downslope) and groundwater drainage systems.
11. A leakage test shall be performed on the septic tank and dosing tank to insure that
any exfiltration occurs at a rate which does not exceed twenty (20) gallons per
twenty-four (24) hour per 1,000 gallons of tank capacity. The engineer's
certification will serve as proof of compliance with this condition.
II. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
1. The facilities shall be properly maintained and operated at all times.
2. The Permittee shall employ a certified wastewater- treatment plant operator to be in
responsible charge of the wastewater treatment facilities. The operator must hold a
certificate of the grade at least equivalent to the classification assigned to the
wastewater treatment facilities by the Certification Commission. Within thirty days
after the wastewater treatment facilities are 50% complete, the Permittee must submit
a letter to the Certification Commission which designates the operator in responsible
charge.
3. The application rates to the disposal field shall not exceed .4 gal/sq.ft./day.

4. The facilities shall be effectively maintained and operated as a non -discharge system
to prevent the discharge of any wastewater resulting from the operation of this
facility.
5. No traffic or equipment shall be allowed on the disposal area except while
installation occurs or while non -nal maintenance is being performed.
6. A suitable vegetative cover of fescue shall be maintained on the disposal area.
III. MONITORING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
1, Any monitoring deemed necessary by the Division of Environmental Management to
insure surface and ground water protection will be established and an acceptable
sampling reporting schedule shall be followed.
2. Noncompliance Notification:
The Permittee shall report by telephone to the Mooresville Regional Office,
telephone no. [phone], as soon as possible, but in no case more than 24
hours or on the next working day following the occurrence or first knowledge of the
occurrence of any of the following:
a. Any occurrence at the wastewater treatment facility which results in the
treatment of significant amounts of wastes which are abnormal in quantity or
characteristic, such as the dumping of the contents of a basin or tank; the known
passage of a slug of hazardous substance through the facility; or any other
unusual circumstances.
b. Any process unit failure, due to known or unknown reasons, that render the
facility incapable of adequate wastewater treatment such as mechanical or
electrical failures of pumps, aerators, compressors, etc.
c. Any failure of a pumping station, sewer line, or treatment facility resulting in a
by-pass directly to receiving waters without treatment of all or any portion of
the influent to such station or facility.
d. Any time that self-monitoring information indicates that the facility has gone out
of compliance with its permit limitations.
Persons reporting such occurrences by telephone shall also file a written report in
letter form within 15 days following first knowledge of the occurrence. This report
must outline the actions taken or proposed to be taken to ensure that the problem
does not reoccur.
IV. GROUNDWATER REQUIREMENTS
1. Any groundwater quality monitoring as deemed necessary by the Division of
Environmental Management shall be provided.
f
3

2. Prior to beginning waste disposal operations, (2) monitor wells, (1) upgradient
and (1) downgradient, must be installed to monitor groundwater quality. The
location and construction details for these wells must be approved by the Mooresville
Regional Office, from which a well construction permit must be obtained.
3. The monitor wells must be sampled initially after construction (and prior to waste
disposal operations) and thereafter every April, August, and November for the
following parameters:
TDS (500.0) pH (6.5-8.5 standard units)
MBAS Water level
Lead (0.05) Orthophosphate
Purgeable Halocarbons & Purgeable Aromatics (as per EPA
methods 601 and 602) - in November only.
The measurement of water level must be made prior to sampling for the remaining
parameters.
The numbers in parentheses represent the maximum allowable concentrations in
groundwater for the various analytical parameters, as specified in 15 NCAC 2L
[Groundwater Classifications and Standards]. Unless otherwise noted, the concentrations
are expressed as milligrams per liter.
The results of the sampling and analysis shall be sent to the N.C. Division of
Environmental Management on Form GW -59 (Compliance Monitoring Report Form)
every May, September, and December.
The Compliance Boundary delineated on the attached site plan for the disposal system is
specified by regulations in 15 NCAC 2L, Classifications and Water Quality Standards
applicable to the groundwater of North Carolina. An exceedance of Groundwater Quality
Standards beyond the Compliance Boundary is subject to penalty provisions applicable
under General Statute 143-215.6(1)a. The sale of property, by the Permittee, which is
within or contiguous to the disposal system site may alter location of the Compliance
Boundary.
For facilities permitted on or after December 30, 1983, the Compliance Boundary is
established at the lesser of 250 feet from the subsurface disposal system, or 50 feet within
the property boundary.
If the title to any property which may affect the location of the Compliance Boundary is
changed, the Permittee shall notify the Division Director within 14 days. The Director shall
then establish a modified Compliance Boundary which will be done as a modification to the
Permit.
The REVIEW BOUNDARY for the disposal system is specified by regulations in 15
NCAC 2L, Groundwater Classifications and Standards. A REVIEW BOUNDARY
is established around disposal systems midway between the Compliance Boundary and
the perimeter of the waste disposal area. When the concentration of any substance
equals or exceeds the maximum allowable concentration of that substance at the
REVIEW BOUNDARY, as determined by monitoring, the Permittee shall either (i)
facility design and operational controls will prevent a violation of standards at the
Compliance Boundary; or, (ii) submit a plan for the alteration of existing site conditions,
facility design or operational controls that will prevent a violation of standards at the
Compliance Boundaryand implement that plan upon its approval by the Director.
